In a distant town, as the dark grows deep, Unfamiliar words come forth, whispered and weak,Let me quell the pain, drive away despair, Lead this child who’s lost his way, help him prepare.While apart, understand, I will live my life for you wherever I am.It’s my greatest wish, to provide for you, Tender moments, sweetest dreams, love, warm and true.As I close my eyes, even now I see, On his face, that little child smiles just for me,If I call, if he hears, He’ll turn towards me, free from his fears.Shine on one dear child, one so very small, One who carries on alone, strong after all.Shine on one dear child, one so very small, One who carries on alone, strong after all. #mother3 #earthbound #ssbb
